The entire third series of the ITV costume drama following the lives and loves of those above and below stairs in an English stately home. With World War One finally over, the 1920s heralds the promise of a new age for those at Downton Abbey. But while the family prepare for the wedding of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Matthew (Dan Stevens), Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) learns that the future of Downton is in grave jeopardy after the collapse of investments made with his wife (Elizabeth McGovern)'s fortune.
With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a grand entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine), threatens to ruffle a few of the Dowager (Maggie Smith)'s feathers.
" An] anecdote-filled memoir . . . Rebecca Eaton looks back on 25
fascinating years at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery " --"USA
Today"
When Rebecca Eaton became the producer of" Masterpiece Theatre" in
1985, she hadn't actually seen many of the episodes. Nor did she
even like mystery novels, though she would be required to choose
stories for "Mystery " But the lifelong Anglophile seized her
chance to make a mark in the budding public television system.
Twenty-eight years later, "Masterpiece "is one of television's
hottest shows, and Eaton is responsible for its triumphant
transition from the "quill-pen" era into the digital age.
Filled with anecdotes about (and the occasional interview with)
the unforgettable hosts, the inspired creators, and the many
talented actors she's worked with over the years, "Making
Masterpiece "is a compulsively readable treat for any fan of these
beloved and iconic programs.
